Yes, it is still a little (okay, more like a lot, a lot, a lot :D) hard to believe that we are actually finally here! As in, Thailand actually exists and it’s not just a figment of my imagination.

It’s been fun getting to know this place… and I’ve been enjoying every moment of the new and exciting. But, I have been praying hard that God would allow me to see Thailand through His eyes. Not just as another exotic place or grand adventure… but as a place filled with people who are incredibly loved by Him.

oh, oh sister!!! PICTURES!! I keep looking and looking at them! I can’t believe my 5 year old sister is truckin’ around like a pro in a songthau…I can’t believe you are eating Thai food and slurping smoothies…or sitting in the warm sun on your patio…and seeing through God’s eyes His heart for Thailand. Please feel free to update as often as you like… 🙂 Love you!

This glimpse is wonderful, Monica! Blessings as you settle in. . .I’m sure there’s more than smoothies and flip-flops to adjust to (but those are really good at making your freezing readers jealous). 🙂
